No way Kavanaigh is getting confirmed without an FBI investigation.

I believe the FBI investigation is to get any further info that would piint either way, as clearly a one day, or even one week hearing is insuffucient.
About 3-4 weeks would probably get you there depending on how much the WH controlled the process.

I also invested. The current stock market is what I am referring to. The Dems want your retirement money? Gee, I didn't know.
Let me qualify. For the most part, it is the wealthy who are benefitting from this market and not the working middle class. I refer you
to the Clinton years when the working middle class invested heavily in the stock market, which was soaring, and when it collapsed, they lost everything including their fancy homes, boats, RVs, etc. There were reports of suicides.

 

Nope, it is not.

No matter. Kavanaugh will be appointed in my view.

 

Oh yes, means test SS so if you saved and the other didn't you SS gets cut. Taxes on wealth. Surcharges on savings accounts. Democrats drool at getting hold of all those assets. And yes lets qualify, those with the most invested benefit the most. Are you suggesting the government do something to limit that? Well see my first sentence. I went through all the recesions going back to Carter. I never lost everything and those became buying opportunities and I'm still here.

 

Like what information? The only persons alleged to have been at the party deny it. It doesn't take 3-4 weeks to interview them they have all agreed and I believe they have all taken place except for one. Has Ford agreed to be questioned yet?

And the WH is not directing the investigation.

 

What do you think comments of one "associate professor" mean in the larger context? Why did you pick this one person? Just because she said something stupid and nutty so you can tar all white female professors as nutjobs?

I never heard of her until you posted about her. Her is a link telling more about her: https://heavy.com/news/2018/10/carol-christine-fair/
The post has been retweeted nearly 300 times and triggered more than 4,400 comments. Critics slammed Fair and questioned her role as an educator.

Obviously the RW was well triggered.

As for your assessments of her IQ, I disagree, but she's certainly overly emotional about the situation...and, of course, wrong in her suggestions.

 

I think the odds are in his favor. Limited FBI investigation and a Republican WH, a Republican Senate and a Republican House that really, really wants Bart on the Bench belching out RW opinions.

 

Agreed. The Republicans will put Bart on the Bench. It's what they've always wanted to do.

 

It may not have occurred to you, but crazy people prone to wild extremes inn logic should NOT be professors. Now if this was an isolated case- no big deal, one loony- but not a trend. However, it is not isolated, and it IS a trend.

Besides the fact that conservative-based students are being embarrassed and derided by professors in front of classes, the statements coming from a wide range of professors in a wide range of big name universities is very large. These are supposed to be places where people learn how to use their heads better- not places where they are taught what to think.
Unfortunately, colleges attract people with expert opinions who often cannot actually do anything... "Those who can, do- those who can't teach..." However they are teaching- trash. Liberal, left trash. 39% of our universities do not have even a single republican professor. Liberal professors outnumber conservative professors 12-1.

Well known professors teaching at well-known universities are suggesting things like our soldiers should turn their guns on their commanders. Another suggested people go home and kill their parents. These are not statements from mental institutions but from professors and nationally recognized universities, almost all of which are subsidized by tax dollars.

A professor at University of New York’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice, posted a message on Twitter on August 23 saying it was a “privilege” to teach people who would die as cops, “Some of y'all might think it sucks being an anti-fascist teaching at John Jay College but I think it's a privilege to teach future dead cops,”

Toby Jennings, a professor of theology at Grand Canyon University, said in a September 2016 seminar that some members of the Black Lives Matter movement “were very gracious and discerning and conversationally, dynamically dialoguing about the issue. And then you have people on the opposite extreme of that that frankly should be hung. And, yes, I did say that on video,” he said.

Kenneth Storey, a visiting sociology professor at the University of Tampa, suggested on Twitter that Hurricane Harvey was “instant karma” for the state of Texas because of its general support for the Republican Party.

Mark Bray, a lecturer at Dartmouth College, gave some 50 news interviews based on his research on far-left anti-fascist groups after the deadly white-nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., in August. The radical groups, known as antifa, often protest far-right speakers, and many of the protests have turned violent.
Mr. Bray “repeatedly defended Antifa’s use of violence in response to white supremacist organizations.”

Johnny Eric Williams, an associate professor of sociology at Trinity College, in Connecticut, wrote two controversial messages on his Facebook page on June 18 and later shared an article posted by an anonymous author on Medium that argued that minority first responders to the recent shootings at a congressional baseball practice should have left white victims to die.

This could be a very long and ugly list. There are stories by conservative students recounting incredible discrimination and humiliation inflicted on them because of their politics. I've followed these things, because they reflect the influence and injection of dysfunctional logic that is being programmed into the students- and that speaks to great harm for the nation.

 

But then, you would also bet on an armadillo to win a horse race.

 

While I tend to agree, isn't that up to Georgetown University? Do you want to pass a law requiring an IQ and sanity test for professors? How about Congressional reps? Presidents? I'd support all of those but strongly doubt it would ever happen.

FYI:
https://www.quora.com/How-many-college-professors-are-employed-in-the-US-in-2017
From the National Center for Education Statistic Fast Factss page, here are numbers for all college faculty positions: In fall 2015, of the 1.6 million faculty at degree-granting postsecondary institutions, 52 percent were full time and 48 percent were part time.

What percentage of 1.6 Million constitutes a trend? .0000001? 1% would be 16,000.

It's no secret that LWers are drawn to education and RWers to business. Why do you think that is? Would you want to become a teacher? A professor? Most RWers do not.

 

So am I.

 

"Those who can, do-- those who can't, teach... sadly, teach what they don't know how to do. That's why it is. Doing is work- never ending challenge to either live well or even excel for the best of us. Teaching is just telling others what they should do; sort of being recognized as expert without necessarily having to demonstrate it to remain in your position. I've been a teacher in some special skills, but not things I depended on for a living. It can be done poorly, like anything else. Problem is that the perception of expertise comes with the position, and is not necessarily present in the person. There are a lot of really great teachers, but the number of those who are not is growing, and in the wrong direction.

Many years back I had a PhD in my employ for several years. Spent 10 years at college, with his parents paying the bills. He was my warehouse janitor, and not very good at his job. I also knew a couple who got along great, but she was insecure. She came to my classes on personal improvement and self-programming. She never understood the process, so she decided to go to college to learn about life and self. Majored in psychology. She still doesn't understand it, but now she's a know it all who can't listen to anything except what she has been told. Part of the question is functionality of your knowledge. This woman had a wonderful husband that wanted the best for her. I had heard her say many times that he "really shined", was just an outstanding human being and a great husband. That attitude changed as she became educated. treated him as stupid, lost the marriage, now lives alone and sadly thinks the world turned on her. But, she is a college professor- with a PhD, teaching psychology.

This is a problem, because the people in those positions are teaching others to think the same way, making the mindset contagious. That is what makes it a trend.

The control of this is up to the employers; however- the employers in the case of universities are often complicit; encouraging rather than disciplining, because in many cases they too think this way. We have allowed these attitudes in the name of "tolerance" and diversity- but failed to recognize the vulnerability of the human mind before it is independently strong, and most adults these days are in that condition. A large number are being manipulated, led like sheep.

The process of election is a referendum on the candidate, a measure of how the people see that candidate as qualified as measured by their own beliefs and expectations.
We have IQ information (accurate or estimated from history) on most all presidents. I don't recall seeing any under 100, but few were high, as in above 140. We haven't elected people with the inability to reason- but that capacity is not the same as being wise and prudent in the exercise of it. IQ does not measure fundamental character issues either. Some people, even those in higher public positions, lack genuine self confidence and keep up a facade of it. GW Bush would be such a person, relying heavily on those around him, in my opinion more of a puppet than a president.

I believe the key to a strong nation is strong people- each and every one of us. Part of being strong for yourself is understanding others have the same right. When we encourage people to follow blindly, to do things that destroy their ability to feel right about themselves, we are sabotaging our future.

 

I bet some are watching and thinking this could happen to my father, my brothers, my husband, my sons.

 

Democrats are getting their FBI investigation, and the rats are recanting all their lies. They are running from the sinking ship of Ford's lies.
